Rocky Handsome

Not many may know that Nishikant Kamat is a very well trained theatre actor.

You will love Nishikant's in his role. It was such a joy to watch him turn into this evil character. Another actor was supposed to play that role. Just two days before the shooting that actor opted out. Nishikant had to step in by default. And what a mind blowing performance he has given!

Overall movie is very nice that is why i have given 8 out of 10. But I am really very very impressed with the acting of Director Nishikant Kamat. He is genius, his impressions oh my god amazing. I love to watch him again and again, will wait for his next Act.

Yet to see 'the man from nowhere'. People are saying that the story is the same. There is in fact similarities in various scenes of this film to those Korean ones. The stunts look familiar if you have seen Raid 1 and 2.

Still, it is new for the Indian audience. I won't say that it is an innovative movie, because gone are the days when Indian audience was unaware of the cinema outside bollywood. So, its 'inspired', doesn't mean we cannot enjoy it. Noshikant Kamat's direction is really good. I would say, 'Mumbai meri Jaan' level good. Action scenes are well choreographed. The characters can be connected to, like John's and that cute little kid who has definitely done great in her first film. So yes, i think 7/10 is right for it.

This movie takes action to next level in Indian Film Industry.No over the top action scenes as is the case in Indian movies.It has one of the crispest and tight storytelling and direction in an Indian movie.There are songs that go along with the narration.This movie is 2 hours of adrenaline rush and must watch for action movie lovers.Nishikant has excellently juggled between the directors and the villain's hat.Nishikant's acting is amazing as a villain.A complete action movie with great story, nice songs, excellent acting, and direction. I would definitely recommend it.

Rocky handsome is remake of South Korean movie 'The man from nowhere'. I being a big fan of the original and physique of John Abraham, was looking forward for this bollywood version.

Cons: Locations at which the shooting of movie takes place do not comply with the level and richness of drug lords. Acting is okay except for the girl and girl's mom.

Pros: Action is good given that our hero is expert in only upper body movements.

I liked the character of hero and the villain's associate who saves girls eyes, although the original were much better. There is a scene where hero is referred as girl's dad by an old shopkeeper it took me Indian version to understand that.

Rating : 6.5/10.

"Rocky handsome" is a testimony to John Abraham's skills range and talent quantum. Among his so many appearances, this movie is probably the best after "Madras Café". John has successfully transformed himself from an average actor to a strong performer who knows right expressions, energy, dialog tone and matching action traits at the right moment. The subject of the plot is quite touching, sensitive and social that tries to highlight the mayhem created as a result of drugs and child trafficking. The director has done a reasonable job to portray and execute all the characters in a logical sequence. But the highlight remains "John's Action" and " Body Language". The action scenes have been shot with great skill, technique and perfection. John Abrahams does a fair justice to his martial arts skills which will remind you of "Keon Reeves" of "John Wick". The body language is perfectly matching to the persona of a high profile "special agent" and one gets the feeler of a real time hero every now and then. The film has been taken to the climax in a smooth way and hence the climax has been shot in a befitting manner closing all the issues, characters and chaos in the end. The director has not left any stone unturned and deserves applause for it. Overall, a fantastic topic, a good movie and a great direction despite being short of mega cast and stars.
